Well this is Awkward Progress Report 9

   Well now I feel silly. I have just been told that I have to give a presentation on all the progress I made, and I still haven't met my goal of donating $30 ( or at least I think it was $30 ) to the Seva charity. I guess if I can't reach my goal I might as well spread awareness. New goal, set out poster to spread awareness about the foundation and collect donations. Yeah that sounds good, very nice. I would get some catalogs to pass out from their website, but that would require shipping and handling and a whole bunch of red tape to walk through. Wait, before I start my last few progress reports start the fanfares (click the video) a new fact about the Seva organization. Did you know the Seva foundation holds charity CONCERTS. Yes, on May 15th and May 22nd, Seva will be holding a charity concert in order to raise money. It will be played over at the Sweetwater music hall in Mill Valley. If you live in that area, consider going, I think it would be a lot of fun, while at the same time raising money for charity.

Well -- now what. I had just finished my project and sold it for the first time, and now I can't think of anything new to create. I'm stuck in a hole, I can't get out, and I don't have a Life Alert. Should I just continue with the theme of presidential animals, or just start making pillows. Well, pillows are the easiest thing to do, but I'd have to drop the price tag to really low, almost negative dollars and earn little to none for the foundation, (like I wan't already doing that) or try and come up with new ideas when the tap is dry. I'll try and see to what I can come up with. And since I haven't filled the word quota, random fact about the foundation I'm supporting again. Did you know that you can donate to the foundation right now and make my job much easier. Please I'm floundering around right now and I could really use some help. Here's a picture of a cute dog to convince you:.

   Finally, after all this time, all these trials and defeats, and all the wasted material, I score the first sale. I kinda feel like I deserve a high five hundred. Get out the party poppers, I'm gonna celebrate for a bit. It's amazing that the first sell I made was to one of my teachers. I guess I need to tell the story now, so without anymore fan fares *fan fares plays in the background* the story of the first sell. Mid-day it was, almost 2 o'clock, when I walked up to my Social Studies ( that's history for people who didn't know ) teacher and offered him the previously stated Trump Trout to him. He talked a lot about Trump during the 2016 election, not particularly positive things about him but things none the less. I sold it to him for five dollars ( American dollars if there are any international viewers out there ) and, that was all. Maybe I should just stick with the fish theme I've got going. Does that sound good, because I can't make anything else.

Progress Report 6

     Welcome back to all the things I can forget in eighty seconds, the online blog post about a project I never get all the materials for on a single day and regret that choice afterwards. Again I forget about the needles needed for the sewing part of the project, and now I start thinking about how many people would actually buy these toys I'm making. So I go online and see the ebay, also known as the ether buyers association, ha ha look at me go, and I see that these plush animals go for at 12 dollars a pop, and then I check on pillows and they're going for 5-10 dollars each, so either I'm going with the pillows so I won't ultimately get stung in the end, or up the pricing buff on the stuffed animals. Anyway, it's been a while so, more random trivia about the Seva association. Did you know that this association has multiple different countries it works in. These countries are Bangladesh, Cambodia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Mexico, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Russia, Tanzania, Tibet, China, Uganda, and The United States of America. If anyone can match that list to the tune the Animaniacs world song, I will personally shake you by the hand through the computer screen. 
         Then next day, as I am working along with some friends, they say that one of the parts I'm using looks like a fish, and since I'm kind of wanting to finish this project asap, I change my plans from dog to fish. But, going along with the project, I realize that anybody could just make something like this, and that I needed something unique. Oh look debates for the 2016 elections. To quote Gru from Despicable Me "Light bulb". I start trying to make a fish president. As I sew hair onto the plush fish, I get halfway through and then realize that the other side flaps up, therefore I called my first creation the Trump Trout...........THAT WAS A JOKE EVERYBODY THANKS FOR COMING! Now all that's left is to think of what abomination I'll come up with next. So to some up the blog so far, fail, fail, fail, give up, make Donald Trump a fish.

Progress Report 5

  Now things are getting better, I said to myself as I started the new  dog. I found a new set of instructions to use to make my project and, for the most part, it's working out surprisingly well. the pieces are what they should look like and the tutorial is easy to read and understandable. But I can probably bet that it will get more complicated as time marches on, but I'm the dumb one here so I guess not. Anyway, the scissors cut through the sock easily and slowly as I put laser focus on all the details. Then not wishing to waste any time, I immediately start filling the sock with cotton, and as I am about to go for the sewing, I realize that I didn't have any needles left. "No, that's fine, no that's just great, just peach -- THAT'S THE WAY WE WASH OUR HANDS FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!" I screamed internally while clutching my hands in hidden rage. so will I be able to finish the project this week, short answer no, long answer nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
At least I have most of it done, and if this one fails as well I'm just going to be making pillows -- yay.
